Saw Fink tonight in a tiny room from a short distance.
Their next gig is in Seattle on the 5th.
I could easily get there, but I am totally satisfied with what I heard tonight.
Jeepers!
Saw Fink tonight in a tiny room from a short distance.
Vijay Iyer, Linda May Han Oh and Tyshawn Sorey - Alberta Rose Theater - February 28th.
One of the best performances I have ever seen.
thanks for the FINK heads up! Seeing him at Venice West in 2 weeks. Troubadour in LA was sold out.
Ravi Coltrane with Brandee Younger - Newmark Theater - March 1.
This was the first time that I have been at a jazz performance with a harp. I have heard it before, but I hadn’t seen it before. The interplay between harp, piano and bass was remarkable.
Steve Hackett The Lamb Highlights with Craig Blundell on drums.
Just got home from the show. Fantastic
Looks like you had great seats.
They were pretty good! If you are a Genesis fan, I highly recommend the show.
Rick Wakeman next week!
Beth Gibbons at the Detroit Masonic Temple two days ago. Good show, though short, only a hour and ten minutes. They played her whole solo album, went off stage after one hour, then came back to play two songs one from Portishead and other I wasn’t familiar with. One other “comment” the “mix” of her vocals had to much reverb and an emphasis on the lower frequencies making it difficult to understand what she was singing. I experience this a lot in “amplified” shows, might be me but I sometimes wonder if the sound guys are deaf …
Beth is the short one in the last photo. The guy to her left played a whole range of unusual instruments. She never introduced the band so no idea who’s who …
How was it?
Rick is cool grumpy dude. He played what he felt like which included:
1.5 hours non stop. Fantastic basic and intimate show
Jack White is the same way. No set list, no recognition of latest album. He just plays what he feels like. But, I don’t get the impression he’s grumpy.
Axpona 2025 my first concert I’ve gone to at the show and it was pretty special imo. Patricia Barber
It’s difficult for me to determine the demographic.
I spotted Al in the 12th row left holding a bunny.
Dweezil Zappa
Flynn Center for the Performing Arts
Burlington, Vermont
April 18, 2025
[For the gear heads: Dweezil played Frank Zappa’s Roxy & Elsewhere Gibson SG (which has since been modified) and Frank’s Gibson Les Paul Custom that is on the cover of the Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar box.]
So cool!
